I'm a 3'rd generation woodworker in a small town on the east coast of Vancouver Island, Canada and I like to build beautiful things. My background is in construction, but my passion lies with fine woodworking and the creative process that goes into building unique heirloom pieces. This channel features the making of my furniture and artistic pieces, with the hope of entertaining, inspiring and educating. My passion is ever evolving and this is my latest step in my journey into sharing what I love to do. Thanks for following along!
@@NippyKindLangur234 It´s just some objective criticism. No need to feel triggered. Feedback is important and before adding something a creator should ask themselves "does this add any value?". Many experienced youtubers have already talked about this and there are you with a comment that provides no value at all.
@@Christopher_Giustolisi hahaha bruh you're the one triggered by a bit of background music lol. Also freakin lmao what kind of person thinks their OPINION is "objective". Perhaps look it up in the dictionary, because in my opinion you're a bit too big for your britches 😹😹
That's an interesting comment. I make lute ribs from pieces of yew which I plane down to 1.5mm thickness. Planing areas where the grain switches direction causes tear out, so I use a scraper instead. They can be used very effectively against the grain :)
Brilliant, works much better than my previous method. It's quite surprising how little pressure you need to make the edge. I used the round chrome stem of a screwdriver. I also found that 1000 grit seemed to work fine as the finish. Thanks for posting. BTW the oil is essential as otherwise the metal edge tends to rip.
Yes it does. Any oil will yellow over time but how much you notice it depends on the wood it was originally applied to. It's been several years hanging on the wall and still looks like the day it was made. I think that's in part to the crazy grain pattern of this piece. Thanks for watching the videos! I really do appreciate it.
I leave the line because I think it looks good. Simple as that. It would only take 2 minutes with a card scraper to remove the lines but I choose not to. To each their own. Thank you for watching.
Why do most woodworkers mark their tail boards all the way across and then leave their marking lines so they’re visible??? This looks very unfinished and takes away from a finished product. I’m not a supporter of “because that’s the way you do it” mentality. I mark mine only where needed, then the lines do not show in the end. You can at least sand them or plane them away very easily. Just fyi.
I love my scrapers. They leave the wood looking bright and feeling very smooth. Whereas heavy to medium grit sandpaper leaves it looking dull sand feeling fuzzy. It took some time for me to learn the proper way to sharpen one. Not everyone does it the same. And some books show the scraper being burnished at a 90 degrees. It puts a burr on both sides.
THANK YOU for making a quick, easy, and most of all, STRAIGHTFORWARD guide. so much better that all of the 15 minute videos with midroll ads and sponsors that interrupt the video
i know this is an old video and you don't seem to be posting any longer. But wanted to say an awesome job. Great wood working and a classy looking finished piece
Good video. I like the use of the marker to ensure it’s bee touched uniformly. Have done that with cleaning up table saw sled runners too. It’s like using xylem blue in machining metal
